I'll always remember the mother of a good chum pouring a line of boiling water from a kettle across her lawn to destroy a column of ants and asking her if she knew what it'd do to the grass, which obviously subsequently died, leaving a visible reminder of her folly for weeks afterwards.
At the time she was a deputy head in the other secondary school where we lived and it was one of the first times I realised that adults can be .. a bit daft.

This was after I asked her husband why he always slightly squeezed the fizzy pop bottle before tightening the cap. "To keep it's fizz" he responded. I knew that definitely wasn't right.

Anyway, if you still want kids, or have kids around - watch out for borax. If you're not bothered, go crazy with that shit.
